Legs Tied With Zip-Ties

As I stand
Contemplating the threshold
Hopeless nobles
Pouring superficial sorrows
Parked in seven black chairs
Legs Tied
With Zip-Ties

I observe
Dark shallow depths
A mountain of endless
Contaminated tissue
Extruding over the brim of trash
Conquering wounds

As I
Take my leap of faith
Stepping forward with
My nametag

Hello, my name is Love
I Am an addict
